Expert Solution

A:-     Element        Atomic number    Outer most electronic configuration

           Na                  11                              3s1

           Mg                 12                               3s2

          Al                   13                               3s2 3p1

         Si                    14                               3s2 3p2

         P                     15                               3s2 3p3

First three ionnisation energy for the removal of three electrons from the Al metal atom to form Al^3+ ion, it has noble gas, Ne configuration (stable elctronic configuration). i.e. 1s2 2s2 2p6

Al   -----------> Al^3+ + 3e

The fourth electron remove from the noble gas electronic configuration, so it required very much greater energy than the third.

Al^3+ electronic configuaration is equal [Ne] configuration

A:- Al
